Loaned Costume

A couple was invited to a swanky masked Halloween
Party. She got a terrible headache and told her husband
to go to the party alone. He, being a devoted husband,
protested, but she argued and said she was going to take
some aspirin and go to bed, and there was no need of his
good time being spoiled by not going. So he took his
costume and away he went.

The wife, after sleeping soundly for one hour, awakened
without pain, and as it was still early, she decided to go to
the party. Since her husband did not know what her
costume was, she thought she would have some fun by
watching her husband to see how he acted when she was
not with him.

She joined the party and soon spotted her husband cavorting
around on the dance floor, dancing with everyone he could,
copping a little feel here and a little kiss there. His wife
sidled up to him and being a rather seductive babe herself,
he left his partner high and dry and devoted his time to the
new stuff that had just arrived.

She let him go as far as he wished; naturally, since he was
her husband. Finally he whispered a little proposition in her
ear and she agreed, so off they went to one of the cars for
a little workout. Just before unmasking at midnight, she
slipped away, went home, put the costume away, and got
into bed, wondering what kind of explanation he would
make for his behavior.

She was sitting up reading when he came in and asked what
kind of a time he had. He said, "Oh, the same old thing.
You know I never have a good time when you're not there."
Then she asked, "Did you dance much?" He replied, "I'll tell
you, I never even danced one dance. When I got there, I met
Pete, Bill Brown and some other guys, so we went into the
den and played poker all evening. But I'll tell you... the guy
I loaned my costume to sure had a real good time!"
